La experiencia de la emergencia por el covid-19 en España ha supuesto una alteración de las pautas normales de gobernabilidad para dar paso a un desarrollo de la gobernanza territorial, al atribuirse el protagonismo fundamental a las Comunidades Autónomas. De este modo las esferas autonómicas han puesto de manifiesto una tendencia mantenida a lo largo del tiempo a favor de la gobernanza, donde se han superado con éxito algunos de sus inconvenientes, demostrando la adecuación institucional hacia un nuevo marco que preludia la evolución de las democracias en el siglo XXI. ; The covid-19 state of emergency experience in Spain has meant an alteration of the normal government guidelines, opening a way to the rise of territorial governance. As a result, Autonomous Communities are attributed the fundamental role. In this vein, the Autonomous Communities have revealed a tendency maintained over time in favor of governance. In this context, some of the drawbacks inherent to governance have been successfully overcome, demonstrating the institutional adaptation to a new framework that preludes the evolution of democracies in the XXI century.
The aim of the study was to identify the legal mechanisms for the establishment of e-government and the development of e-governance from the perspective of international law and national legislation of countries where the level of e-governance is very high. Empirical and theoretical methods of scientific knowledge, as well as the comparative analysis were used for a comprehensive coverage of the research topic. It is found that the community-oriented principles are the basis for the functioning of e-government with a view to the digital transformation values. The establishment of digital government in different countries with a very high level of e-governance has its own peculiarities related to the status of the national legal framework, institutional capacity and economic development, information policy and information security. It was established that the e-governance should be improved by eliminating the digital gap, raising the level of digital literacy, creating a single competent authority to regulate public e-governance policy, introducing a network system of access to e-government services, and establishing a system for training civil servants on the provision of electronic services. Further research on e-governance may be focused on follow-up study and argumentation in order to determine effective legal tools of its regulation.
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the effect of the implementation of good village governance in Indonesia, its competence and performance, based on the level of fraud and its fund management.

Anuario de Derecho Municipal 2020 Madrid, 2021. ISSN: 1888-7392. Nº 14: 243-258 Building rapid transit in Canada: the problem of governance Martin Horak* University of Western Ontario ABSTRACT Canadian cities have seen a boom in the construction of rapid transit infrastructure in recent years, fueled by the rise of financial support for transit from the federal government and the provinces. However, the extent to which individual cities have been able to productively harness this new financial support varies greatly. This study compares the recent development of rapid transit infrastructure in two of Canada's largest metropolitan areas, Toronto and Vancouver. It finds that while both cities have recently developed regional transportation authorities to manage large transit investments, in Toronto the development of rapid transit has been highly contentious, marked by frequent changes in plan and the repeated cancellation and deferral of transit projects, while in Vancouver, the development of rapid transit has been much more consensual and orderly. The study introduces an analytical framework that interprets these different outcomes as the result of dissimilar institutional environments in the two cities, which vary in the extent to which they insulate long-range planning and decision-making from efforts by politicians to harness rapid transit decisions for short-term electoral advantage
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the conflict management that has been carried out by the government through the integrative framework of Collaborative Governance. The research method used was the deductive Post-Positivist paradigm by collecting data through interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys regarding the implementation of Special Autonomy Policy. The results of the study based on the integrative framework of collaborative governance model showed that the process of collaboration in implementing the Special Autonomy policy has not been successful and is less effective. RESUMEN El propósito de este estudio es analizar la gestión de conflictos que ha llevado a cabo el gobierno a través del marco integrador de la Gobernanza Colaborativa. El método de investigación utilizado fue el paradigma deductivo post-positivista mediante la recolección de datos a través de entrevistas, discusiones de grupos focales y encuestas sobre la implementación de la Política de Autonomía Especial. Los resultados mostraron que el proceso de colaboración en la implementación de la Política Especial de Autonomía no ha sido exitoso y es menos efectivo.
Šport je z modernizacijo družbe in intenzivnejšo globalizacijo postal visoko organiziran in strukturiran globalni fenomen. Na njegov razvoj so vplivali različni dejavniki, vodenje na globalni ravni pa so prevzele mednarodne športne organizacije, v prvi vrsti Mednarodni olimpijski komite (MOK), okrog katerega se je izoblikoval t. i. reguliran olimpijski sistem. Disciplina Mednarodnih odnosov v primerjavi z ostalimi družbenimi vedami zaostaja pri proučevanju globalnega športa, ki tako ostaja eden manj vidnih in proučevanih vidikov globalnega vladanja. Eden od razlogov za to je tudi odsotnost resne in sistematične teoretske analize. Za zapolnitev te vrzeli je cilj magistrskega dela odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako lahko z uporabo teorij mednarodnih odnosov in analizo olimpijskega sistema z značilnostmi globalnega vladanja razumemo nastanek, obstoj in delovanje globalnega vladanja na področju športa kot enega izmed področij globalnega vladanja. Opredelitev reguliranega olimpijskega sistema kot globalnega vladanja na področju športa omogoča uporabo prevladujočih teorij mednarodnih odnosov (realizma, liberalizma, konstruktivizma, marksističnih teorij) na tem področju. Te v okviru svojih zmožnosti razlagajo in pojasnjujejo delovanje globalnega vladanja na področju športa, skupno pa izpostavijo pomembne elemente in pojave globalnega športnega vladanja. Analiza ponudi razmislek o nadaljnjem teoretičnem raziskovanju tega področja. ; The modernisation of society and intensive globalisation led sport to become a highly organised and structured phenomenon. Its development was influenced by various factors, while management at a global level has been taken over by international sport organisations, primarily by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), around which a regulated Olympic System has developed. In the examination of global sport, as one of the less visible and explored aspects of global governance, the discipline of International Relations falls behind other social sciences. One of the reasons for this is also the absence of a systematic theoretical analysis of this area. In order to fill this gap, this master thesis aims to answer the question: how can the use of the theories of international relations and an analysis of the Olympic System with features of global governance help us understand the emergence, the existence and the functioning of global governance in the field of sport as one of the fields of global governance? The identification of the regulated Olympic System as global governance in the field of sport enables the application of dominant theories of international relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism and Marxist theories) onto this field. The theories, within the limits of their capacities, interpret and explain the functioning of global governance in the field of sport, and, as a set of theories, they highlight the important elements and phenomena of global sport governance. The analysis offers a reflection on the further theoretical exploration of this field.
The purpose of the article was to study the experience of self-governance of lawyers in the countries of the European Union EU. On the basis of this material recommendations aimed at improving the advocacy system are provided. Achieving the set goal involved the resolution of the following tasks: a) to reveal the mechanism of functioning of the system of self-government of lawyers in the EU countries and identify its universal features, and; b) to determine the main models of the system of self-government of lawyers in the EU countries. The scope of the study was constituted by public rules, regulated by law, arising in the provision of legal services in the application of the legal profession and the implementation by representatives of its bodies of the right to self-government. The methodological basis of the study consists of general and specific research methods. It is concluded that, the manifestation of the principle of independence of the legal profession and the guarantee of full functioning of the self-governing bodies of bar associations in the EU countries consists in ensuring the freedom of their activities within the legality and its implementation in practice.
This work identifies good governance with the legal status of government senior officials. These are people that hold public positions through political appointment, so their legal status is based in the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability, according to the current legislation. ; En este trabajo se identifica el buen gobierno con el estatuto jurídico aplicable a los altos cargos de la Administración Pública. En cuanto personas que acceden y desempeñan tareas públicas conforme al principio de confianza política su régimen se caracteriza, conforme a la legislación vigente objeto de examen, por un sistema dominado por los principios de integridad, transparencia y responsabilidad.
Interaction based on equality is a determining factor in an intercultural approach to mutual cross-border integration. States direct their policy vectors towards creating provisions for positive and constructive cooperation between people of different backgrounds and lifestyles with government institutions. The recognition and testing of policies and practices that promote intercultural interaction and inclusion by local governments are of particular importance in this context. The aim of the article was to identify and reveal current problems and the current state of regulation of intercultural communication and community participation in local governance in the European Union and Ukraine. Observation, analysis and survey methods were the main methodological tools. The study showed that the effective development of intercultural communication and community participation in local governance requires progress in the implementation of the overall strategies declared by the European Union. The adequacy and prospects of the intercultural cities network (ICC) are presented. Analysis of the survey of cities surveyed in the Intercultural Cities Index showed a high level of local government transformation and public participation in regional decision-making.

There are two distant conceptual cousins that analyse the external mobilisation of subnational entities, one being European Studies – Multi-Level Governance and the other International Relations – Paradiplomacy. The article first aims to analyse each concept against the dimensions of the politik to determine the conceptual focus and find more pronounced differences in the policy and politics dimensions. The second aim is to identify the theoretical bedrock underpinning both concepts. This article proposes the analogous theory of Neo-Medievalism, establishing that it has some application here; in this sense, the two concepts may be better at explaining wider territorial reconfiguration underway in Europe. Keywords: Paradiplomacy, Multi-Level Governance, Neo-Medievalism, European Union
El espigado ascenso del Estado de bienestar y el Estado desarrollista dieron paso a una generación de ilusiones sobre la prosperidad económica interminable. Las crisis económicas de finales de los setenta e inicios de los ochenta acabaron rápidamente con estos sueños, reestructurar el Estado era inminente. Los choques económicos fueron el pretexto para iniciar la reestructuración del sistema económico mundial (que mostraba signos de moderación en las tasas de crecimiento) con la implementación del recetario homogéneo del neoliberalismo. De esta forma, el mundo abría paso a la globalización económica (financiera) a gran escala.Más de treinta años después, el neoliberalismo ha demostrado que con su llegada no solucionó, sino que agravó problemas que ya aquejaban al Estado de bienestar. Con sus políticas de austeridad, el neoliberalismo solo logró precarizar las condiciones de vida humana, llevando los beneficios estatales al suelo por medio de la privatización; reduciendo los ingresos fiscales para implementar futuras políticas estatales; y disminuyendo considerablemente los beneficios individuales del grueso poblacional con las políticas de flexibilización laboral.Esto lleva a pensar en la función del Estado en tiempos de la globalización neoliberal, en la que su soberanía se ve limitada por el proceso de liberalización económica, dependencia de grandes inversiones y préstamos extranjeros, resultando la obstaculización del ejercicio político en pro de la formación ciudadana y los mecanismos de control.El texto abordará las problemáticas derivadas de los principales modelos estatales del siglo XX, en contraste con la reciente gran recesión y los retos del Estado para solucionar las desigualdades. ; The fast rise of the welfare state in its developed and developing version paved the way to a generation filled of illusions about the endless economic prosperity. What it is more, the economic crisis at late 70`s and early 80`s ended these illusions rapidly; restructuring the state was imminent. The economic recession was the pretext to start restructuring the global economic system (that had showed low economic growth rates) with the homogeneous neoliberalist policies. In this sense, the world was now opened to a massive economic (financial) globalization.Thirty years after, neoliberalism has proved that its arrive has not solved but sharped the welfare state inherited problems. With its austerity policies, neoliberalism just undermined humane life conditions, bringing the state benefits down by means of privatization; decreasing fiscal revenue to implement future state policies, and weakening substantially individual incomes of the population with labor flexibility policies.This process leads to think about the state`s role in times of neoliberal globalization, where state sovereignty is limited by the economic liberalization process, huge private investment dependency and international loans, resulting in the obstruction of the political exercise in favor of citizenship educational process and accountability mechanisms.This article will outline the problems inherited from the XX century most important state models, welfare and neoliberalist, in contrast to the recent major recession and the state`s task to reduce inequalities.
Scholars from different political approaches argue that governance may harmonize antagonistic interests. However, governance's concept is still imprecise, and it has been used in a contradictory way. This paper's aim is to discuss governance limitations to overcome obstacles regarding land monopolization and water 'commoditization'. Through California experience, this paper shows how historic legacies have reinforced changes in commodity market, narrowing the margin of maneuver of vulnerable households. Inclusive governance may be the best shot to reduce inequalities regarding water access, but it is not a magical solution. There is a long way to follow and political fights still must happen.
The processes of territories governance require a special effort to open ourselves to the diverse interpretations that circulate about its productive vocations and conditions of its diversity. To do so, we propose to reflect from decolonial, intercultural and ecological-political perspectives surrounding water governance processes in territories marked by the coexistence of transnational capitalism with peasant and indigenous economies and cultures. The empirical reference cases come from the regions of Biobío and Ñuble, in the South Center of Chile, where the actors and actants of the socionatural system determined by plantations of monoculture forestry, face daily dialogue, negotiate and confront their multiple understandings around the water.
